“Cucumber Pachdi” is a popular side dish from South India.

“Pachdi/Pachadi” is a simple raita made with curds and some vegetable/fruit and spices, this raita is served with main meals as an accompaniment.

But today, we aren’t talking about pachadi. We are talking about this amazing drink which I tasted sometime last year at Mahesh Lunch Home.

The cucumber Pachdi served was cooling, refreshing, beautifully spiced, and perfect for summer.

So finally, I decided to recreate the drink in my kitchen using local cucumber, homemade curds, and spice.
